The Hermit Shaman is too depressed today to preach very much. It's so sad to watch the ice go in a slow, agonizing way.




My batteries are almost as depressed as I am. When I become Ruler of the Universe, I'm cancelling spring. Every four years I'll throw in an August for you. Other than that, March, April, May, June, July, all gone. Think of all the trees we'll save on calenders.

At first blush, this seems like a great idea!

No bug season. No slushy season. Iffn slushy season is what I think it is...

(However, for those who drink Slushies...this might impact on their slushie habit.)

And for ME - No more birthdays! Got to love that! I'd say "forever young" but it's more like "forever over the hill". Better than just plain OLD.

Sorry you are having some S A D time. But thanks for cheering me up!

just think how sad the super kids would be if you took away their prime puddle jumping season... you'd be getting many more "angry face" pictures from ellia.

The Gatekeeper


The gatekeeper stood steadfastly at the gate, as a stranger approached him.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I am guarding my quietude." he answered.

"I thought you were guarding important people or great wealth. Quietude!! That is nothing."

"It is nothing to you," the guard answered.

Quietude is a precious commodity. Without it, we humans are just cogs in a wheel. With it, we maintain our sanity.

The ice is melting and the world presses in, for another spring/summer season. The intensity of these two seasons makes the hush of winter that much more special.

I get it, Frank.
